There are times when even the innocent laughter

the prattle that rpples from hearts

party OF four, and the two girls were evidently
under the impression that they were looking at q

COnstitutiOnaiity Of Prohibition.
rom the New York Herald.

There seems TO be a good deal Of misapprehen-
Sion as 10 the question involved in the forthcoming
decision OF the United States supreme Court in
the Kansas prohibition case. That court has
already decided in several cases that State may
prohibit the manufacture and sale Of LIQUOR by
constitutional amendment. But In none OF these
cases Was the question raised whether property in
existence-property, for example, In liquors, dis
tillerieS, breweries, 6c.-inay be thus destroyed,
without compensation 10 the owner. This is the
pivotal issue In the Kansas case. The United
states court In that State held that the law was
In violation OF the fourteenth amendment for the
reason that 1t deprived persons OF their property
without due process OF law. lf the Supreme Court
sustans this view, IL WIFI give 10 the fourteenth
amendment new meaning. and one OF far.

publication OF the afidavits OF three policemen
that one OF the members Of the force Jas McGuirk,

ucan candidate for coroner TO defeat the drmo-
cratic ticket by substituting a ballot-box. The
police are democrats and are making IN effort 10

treasurer. AcGuirk Is q democrat of the Meegan
faction, but was out and out for simmons, who
was the means OF putting McGuirk on the force.
Both McGuirk and Canton were arrested tonight

Both deny the charge McGuirk swears that he
